Ah, my apologies for the mis-read then. I had read it as "parents = neighbors". M'bad.
In that situation...there's very little you can do, and you handled it about as best as you could. I have no advice, that situation just sucks all around, and I'm sorry that you and yours had to be a part of it.
Your neighbors then, freed of the 'parent' drama...seem to be the 'neighborhood grouches'. Looks like you are doing about all you can there, too. Grumpy neighbor seems to be the ***hole here.

If it was the same family for both incidents, then I think he is the #######.

Yeah, I misread it. Dang pre-coffee reading.
